Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso Are Engaged and the Internet Can’t Handle How Wholesome It Is

Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso are officially engaged after a surprise proposal that felt more like a movie scene than real life and the Internet can’t get enough.

The actress announced the engagement on Instagram on October 25, sharing a glimpse of the moment Rudy got down on one knee in a room draped with white curtains, surrounded by family, friends, and enough love to make every rom-com screenwriter take notes. Her caption? Simple and perfect: “Engaged to my best friend 💍🥲.”

The Birthday Party That Turned Into a Proposal

According to reports, the whole thing started as a sneaky setup,  Camila thought she was walking into a birthday celebration. Instead, Rudy pulled off one of the most heart-melting plot twists of the year. Surrounded by their loved ones, he popped the question, proving once again that the best proposals are the ones that feel personal, not performative.

The room was filled with tears, applause, and probably at least one friend trying to hold back a scream. It was intimate, cinematic, and oh-so-them.

Her Riverdale co-stars Lili Reinhart and Vanessa Morgan, plus celebrity friends like Phoebe Dynevor, Katherine Langford, Rachel Zegler, and Laura Marano, all jumped into the comments to flood her post with congratulations.

A Modern Love Story: From Set to “Yes”

Camila and Rudy’s love story could easily double as a rom-com movie. The two first met while filming Música, a romantic dramedy Rudy directed, co-wrote, and starred in with Camila as his leading lady both on and off screen.

By July 2022, fans had started piecing things together, and by November, Camila confirmed the relationship through a soft-launch selfie (no tag, of course, she knows the art of the tease).

What began as an on-set collaboration quickly became something deeper. “I feel like I’ve known him my whole life,” Camila said in a 2023 interview. “That’s something I’ve never felt before.” That quote aged like fine champagne — or in this case, like a diamond ring reveal post.

The Engagement That Sparkled 

Just hours after Rudy’s proposal, the newly engaged couple hit up a celebration at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. Rudy couldn’t resist sharing the big news with photographers, proudly declaring their engagement before kissing his new fiancée.

Camila stunned in a navy cropped vest and matching track pants (because who says engagement nights can’t be comfy chic?) while showing off her dazzling diamond ring, a large stone set on a delicate silver band. Rudy kept things relaxed in an oversized beige jacket and white tank. Together, they looked like the effortlessly stylish couple every rom-com costume designer dreams of dressing.
